Brainiac - Smack Bunny Baby

Smack Bunny Baby is the debut album from the band Brainiac, released in 1993. It is the only album by the group to feature founding guitarist Michelle Bodine. The LP edition of the album includes the track "Velveteen" that was not found on the original CD edition.

Along with its successor Bonsai Superstar, as of 2016 Smack Bunny Baby was out-of-print and the copyright was owned by The Bicycle Music Company. However, in December 2023 upon the 30-year anniversary of the original release, the album was reissuedby Craft Recordings, the reissue label of Concord Bicycle Music.

Spin included the album on its 1993 "10 Best Albums of the Year You Didn't Hear" list, calling it "a noisy little devil that benefits greatly from a fondness for Moog synth and a good ear for (buried) melody."
